Bad Korea Move
So they were trying to build the bomb after all! Those insolent punks have been lying to us for nearly a decade and voilating the anti-nuclear agreement they made with us. Anyway what's this mean:

-Given what happened with North Korea, I wouldn't really trust making some kind of diplomatic settlement with Iraq. We wouldn't want to make an agreement with Saddam and find out a few years later that he has a handful of nuclear bombs.
-What is the difference between Iraq and Korea? Why is it more urgent to invade Iraq and remove its thugs from power? Well, I think the big difference is that North Korea's Kim Jong-il has no established pattern of aggression. He talks big, he's arming himself and killing his countrymen, but he has no history of starting wars with no reason or almost suicidal miscalculation like Saddam does. Saddam has attacked the Iranian. the Kurds and invaded Kuwait and frequently makes judgments that are so poorly thought out their almost insane, which would make a policy based on detterence and containment especially risky. However, I don't think we should let North Korea off the hook and punitive measures ought to be taken (bombing campaign anyone?) to show that the US won't tolerate hostile dictatorships aquiring atomic arms.
